| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Behavioral contrast | the increased responding to a training stimulus as a result of discrimination training |
| Continuity theory | the Hull-Spence idea that all aspects of discriminative stimuli are learned bit by bit simultaneously |
| discrimination | the process of making one response to one circumstance and a different response to another circumstance |
| generalization | the process of applying learning from one situation to new, similar situations |
| gradient | the graph of levels of responding to stimuli other than the training stimulus in testing generalization |
| Noncontinuity theory | theories such as Lashley and Wade's that assume learning occurs in sequences in which later events are dependent on earlier ones |
| Peak shift | the fact that discrimination training causes the greatest degree of responding to occur to a different stimulus from the positively trained stimulus |
| relational theory | the idea that subjects in discrimination procedures are learning relationships between stimuli rather than absolute properties of the stimuli |
| Semantic generalization | generalizing from a training word to other words on the basis of their similarity of meaning |
| Simultaneous discrimination | presenting the S+ and the S- at the same time during discrimination training |
| Successive discrimination | training a subject using trials with the S+ and S- alternating randomly |
| Transposition | Kohler's finding that subjects in simultaneous discrimination tasks respond according to a relational principle |
